TASK DEPENDENCY OF GRIP STIFFNESS--A STUDY OF HUMAN GRIP FORCE AND GRIP STIFFNESS DEPENDENCY DURING TWO DIFFERENT TASKS WITH SAME GRIP FORCES.

Task dependency of grip stiffness--a study of human grip force and grip stiffness dependency during two different tasks with same grip forces.

It is widely known that the pinch-grip forces of the human hand are linearly related to the weight of the grasped object.Less is known about the relationship between grip force and grip stiffness.We set out to determine variations to these dependencies in different tasks with and without visual feedback.In two different settings, subjects were aske

Incorporating statistical strategy into image analysis to estimate effects of steam and allyl isocyanate on weed control.

Weeds are the major limitation to efficient crop production, and effective weed management is necessary to prevent yield losses due to crop-weed competition.Assessments of the relative efficacy of weed control treatments by traditional counting methods is labor intensive and expensive.More efficient methods are needed for weed control assessments.T
